Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta, a fast-casual pizza and pasta concept in Colorado, will open its first Fort Collins location on Friday, September 13, with free pizza, live comedy and giveaways.

The pizza brand, locally owned by Garrett Brizendine, CEO of EPIQ Ventures, LLC, plans to continue expanding its Denver lineup of pizzerias.

Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta has been serving Colorado for more than 40 years, and the Fort Collins location marks the 19th restaurant for the brand. With locations in Denver, Golden, and Colorado Springs, the Fort Collins opening follows the brand’s newest outpost at Red Rocks Ampitheater, Colorado’s historic outdoor concert, film, fitness and event venue.

“We could not be more excited to join the Fort Collins community,” Peter Counter, the company’s manager of brand development, said. “Our entire team has worked hard to ensure that this location offers the same great experience that has made Anthony’s a favorite across Colorado.”

Grand opening activities in Fort Collins start at 11 a.m. and include sample menu items, a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce, giveaways—including sunglasses and water bottles—and free pizza, plus a live comedy performance with Ginger Whale, starting at 4 p.m.

Under Brizendine, EPIQ Ventures, LLC owns and operates the Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta franchise system along with multiple retail locations. Four of its 19 locations are company-owned.
